Dune 3 Blacklisted in AKAI VIP [Solved]

[Mjusick]

Hi there!

Dune 3 unfortunately does not work in AKAI VIP.
When scanning the plugin folder, the plugin is always added directly to the blacklist.
I've tried this on different Windows 10 Systems, always with the same result.

Best regards

Hi there again!

I just wanted to let you know that also the latest Version of Dune 3 unfortunately does not work in AKAI VIP.

Best regards

Thanks Markus, we'll look into this. Is this the VST2 or VST3 version? Also, has the plugin been authorized properly (normally this happens during the installation process)? And lastly, are you running Windows as an admin or as a user with restricted access rights?

Hi Richard,
thanks for your answer, sorry I did not recognized it before.
I only came across your answer because I "googled" again for a solution to my problem (because once again I realized how awesome Dune 3 is and I would finally use the synth...).
It's the VST2 version, because unfortunately AKAI VIP still doesn't support VST3 and I'm the admin user with full rights.
I run Dune 3 in Cubase and Ableton on the same computer.
I have no problems there. I have my own VST plugin folder with symlink for the VIP software (as well as for Ableton, the original DLLs are in the standard Cubase VST2 folder...). From there, VIP tries to load the Dune VST. When I scan the plugins folder, Dune is immediately blacklisted and cannot be used there.
Dune 2 ran without problems.

Best regards
Markus!

We have fixed the problem meanwhile, AKAI kindly gave us a version to test with

If you wish to get the fix right now, send us an email or PM me. Otherwise, the fix will be part of the next D3 maintenance update.

Hi Richard,
that's great news!
Thanks very much! I'm really happy about that, because I use the AKAI Vip software to manage my way too many plugins/presets and for midi device control!
Since I can't wait to test this, I'll PM you right away!

Best wishes
Markus!
